Project Mind Control

Project Mind Control

por Always True Crime8 episodios

Criminal psychologist Dr Julia Shaw follows the story of one teenage runaway in 1958 into a shadow world of experiments on children, covert CIA involvement, and vanished indigenous children. In Project Mind Control, we hear a story of an international effort to weaponise psychology and control human behaviour. The truth may never be fully revealed, but the crimes demand to be uncovered.


In 1958, teenage runaway Lana Ponting was sent to one of Canada’s most notorious psychiatric institutions: The Allan Institute. Now Dr Julia Shaw speaks to her about the experiments she endured there, designed to break down and rebuild the human mind through electroshocks, drugs, and barbaric treatments. Decades later, Lana is one of the last known survivors. Her memories are fractured but what she remembers is enough to expose something far bigger than one hospital.
